         6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the first working mode comprises displaying a first color, and wherein the second working mode comprises displaying a second color. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the first color has a warm hue and the second color has a cool hue. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 5 , further comprising controlling, when detecting adjustment of the vehicle temperature to a third temperature value, an air exhaust direction of an air outlet of an air conditioner located in the first area to be in a first direction, and wherein controlling the first light-emitting apparatus to work comprises controlling the first light-emitting apparatus to be displayed in a water flowing light form that matches the first direction. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first sensor comprises a cup holder temperature sensor, wherein the method further comprises further obtaining the first signal after detecting that the first user places a cup in a cup holder located in the first area, wherein the first signal indicates a first temperature value of a liquid in the cup, and wherein the controlling the first light-emitting apparatus to work comprises:
 controlling, when the first temperature value is greater than a second temperature value of the liquid before the first user places the cup in the cup holder, the first light-emitting apparatus to display a warm hue; and   controlling, when the first temperature value is less than the second temperature value, the first light-emitting apparatus to display a cool hue.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising:
 controlling, while a cup holder temperature detected by the cup holder temperature sensor cools down from the first temperature value to the second temperature value, a color of the first light-emitting apparatus to change from deep to light; and   controlling, while the cup holder temperature heats up from the first temperature value to the second temperature value, the color to change from deep to light.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the first light-emitting apparatus is a cup holder ambient light. 
     
     
         12 . A light system comprising:
 a memory configured to store instructions; and   at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions to cause the light system to:
 obtain a first signal from a first sensor in a first area of a vehicle; 
 obtain image information from a camera; 
 determine, based on the image information, that a first user is present in the first area; 
 determine first user information corresponding to the first user; 
 obtain, from stored correspondences between user informations and light configuration informations, a first light configuration information corresponding to the first user information; and 
 control, based on the first signal and the first light configuration information, a first light-emitting apparatus in the first area to work.
